A DREAM COME TRUE!

[@hannahshappyhome]

I love the art in your office Jared! And Ellie I loved that cute little blue trashcan you got for the bathroom :)

[@aly.sacredspaceholder]

I almost didn't watch this because I'm going through a hard time right now and I didn't want to hear about how happy and wonderful your lives are. But I'm so glad I did because hearing you speak about service and giving love to the world really put my priorities in order. Thank you so much Jared 💕

[@ellieandjared]

Thank you Alysa!

[@85michellemybelle]

Alysa Aeschbacher i truly am sorry for the hard times you are experiencing right now💔 I hate knowing when another person is in distress. I hope it's ok that I pray for you or at least send my best wishes your way❤️

[@CelestaII]

We will be praying for you! I'm so sorry to hear that you are going through a hard time right now...

[@brittaneemareekathryn]

Jared, you are honestly my biggest role model. I love that you're always so unbelievably positive and uplifting! Seeing someone so positive, who makes the best out of every situation and all of life's challenges, makes me look at my own obstacles and think to myself, "Maybe I can overcome them, too?" I'm 21, and throughout my 21 years of life, I have never felt, not even once, that I mattered. That I meant something to someone. I have suffered from Clinical Depression literally my entire life, and an anxiety disorder as well, so I have to take medication. It's hard having to deal with the fact that I have to rely on a little pill every single day for the rest of my life, just to feel even the slightest bit happy. I've been beaten down by my own thoughts and insecurities, to the point where I have tried to kill myself. I almost died last year. I overdosed on my depression medication because I was also suffering from anorexia, and my medication made me tired, and I couldn't handle it. Something most people don't know is that when I was dealing with my anorexia, I was suffering very much. It was breaking me. I refused to sit down for the 18-22 hours I was awake every day and I worked out up to 8 hours every single day. I have always been completely insecure. Even when I was younger, and I was underweight. My whole childhood I was extremely skinny, to the point where I looked sick and like I wasn't being fed. But I was just skinny. I was a very "boney" kid. But once good ole' puberty hit, I went from a 40 POUND TWELVE YEAR OLD, (Yes, only about 40 pounds) to about 100 pounds. I was actually at a very healthy weight for once. But I felt like I was "fat." I have struggled with this crippling mindset, and this idea in my mind that you have to be a certain weight or look a certain weight to be "skinny" or beautiful. So I became anorexic. Most of the reasoning behind developing my anorexia was my devastating insecurities and complete lack of self esteem, but some of it had to do with my friends death. Some of it was a grief response. It kicked my anorexia into overdrive and I lost 40 pounds in one month. In one month. When Dylan died, something died inside of me. I missed him terribly, and I always will. I visited his grave every single day, and from December 3rd, 2014 (the day he died) to now, I still go often. I've been through a lot, but I always think to myself, "There are still people out there who I'm sure have it way worse than I do. Why do you feel like you have any problems? Your problems don't matter." But then I remember something I once told myself and my group while in recovery at a Depression Treatment Center that has stuck with me: "Do not compare your problems and challenges to anyone else's. Don't think yours are less severe. It is not a competition. If it's damaging to you, your mind, your emotions, or your worth, then it matters." I will always live by that. I just wanted to share that with you because I felt it was important to tell you about myself and to let you know what it is that you do for me. It's hard to make me smile. It's hard to make me laugh. But for the past three years, you have helped me so much and have made me do just that. From watching you struggle to get pregnant with Jackson, (Because yes, I was subscribed to you way back then) to now living in your dream home with your two beautiful little boys; It brings tears to my eyes! I just want you to know how much joy you guys bring me, and I want to thank you for letting me be apart of your life. I strive to be as positive as you guys, and I strive to be the kind of people you both are. Beautiful inside and out. Thank you for everything. You have done so much more than you could ever know. :) -Brittanee.

[@cherilivingston5040]

Thanks for sharing! I can understand where you are coming from! I to suffer from major depressive disorder! Jared and Ellie are a small part of my day that makes me happy each day!!

[@merlyrodriguez64]

[@jocollard6049]

I feel for you massively and hope that you trust me when I say that you are amazing! from what you've gone through, you do amazingly well and you should tell yourself that. You truly are an inspiration to me and it brought tears to my eyes reading your story. You are amazing... Believe that, remember that, and always look back to see how far you've come, not how far you have still to go :) x

[@brittaneemareekathryn]

Any time Cheri Livingston! I agree! Thank you so much alexa sansel! Thank you for your support and kind words! God definitely has shown me how blessed I am lately. :)

[@brittaneemareekathryn]

Thank you so much Jo White! You made me cry! Thank you for being so understanding and incredibly kind! It means so much to me. It really, truly does!

[@victoriarosee67]

Seeing you and your family everyday gives me a spark of joy. Some days it's the only joy I have and others not. But I'm so grateful and thankful to have you vlogging everyday so I could have just that small time to be happy and to see happiness. Thank you for all that you've done. It means a lot

[@ellieandjared]

Thank you Victoria, your comment means a lot to us. = )

[@laurenr8775]

Ellie and Jared hey ellie and jared. I have been struggling with depression for years now and I have attempted so many times to end my life. but it makes me so happy when I watch your vlogs. thank you so much :) I love you guys

[@victoriarosee67]

+Lauren R please don't leave this earth. You have so much worth! Things just have to get worse before they get better. I'm in the same boat i have depression and anxiety but I don't let it get to me. Let your beauty out. Keep smiling! You'll get through to the positive side.

[@laurenr8775]

Victoria Sorrentino thanks that means alot

[@victoriarosee67]

+Lauren R and I really do mean it. I hope joy and happiness come your way. Lots of people love you for you. Don't lose that ❤️

[@Chanlynxo]

I've been thinking about the kind of life I want to create for myself too. A few months ago I heard someone say 'the world is judging/perceiving you based on your actions- not your intentions.' It doesn't matter if I talk about being a good wife and mother and friend- if I'm being short tempered and distant from my husband, not connecting with my kids or my friends.. I need to ACT on my intentions and literally BE the change BE the good in the world. Leave every interaction with that person feeling happier or better about themselves and the world. I don't need to worry about being a better wife or mom- just being a better PERSON will help everything balance out. :) ♡

[@ellieandjared]

Great thought Chanlyn! Thanks for sharing.

[@evewilson9847]

Utah just looks so beautiful anyone else just love seeing all the scenery?

[@kirstin_bx]

That message at the end was so sweet, Jared. It's so nice to see that they are still people like you in this world who just want to help other people and put a smile on their face :) You guys honestly have the kindest hearts and I truly admire that about you both! :)

[@ellieandjared]

Thanks Kristin!

[@carlyyy93]

I just want you guys to know what an inspiration you are to our family. We are from Idaho Falls originally and we are getting sealed in the SLC Temple this coming year. We are living away from home in Alaska since my husband is in the Army and It is so neat to see a family that is just so naturally living the life we are working towards and to catch little glimpses of home in your vlogs! Thank you so much for sharing all that you do and all that you share with us. I am so excited for my family to grow spiritually the way your beautiful family has.

[@TheSmithFamilyLife]

Carly Siler we are from Twin falls! :) love finding fellow idaho people on KZbin

[@carlyyy93]

The Smith Family Life Yes! we miss home so much :) we love when we can catch glimpses of it in other people's videos.

[@TheSmithFamilyLife]

Carly Siler aw I bet! I would love the chance to live in Alaska for a bit though. it's a dream of ours

[@ellieandjared]

[@carlyyy93]

Ellie and Jared Oh no I didn't! I will check :) I'm not terrible tach savvy lol

[@lindar7698]

You impact on my life every day. We hear and see so much negativity every day that we forget sometimes that there are great guys out there and JARED IS A GREAT GUY.🌹

[@alishabrenecki2773]

You have already left a legacy Jared! You have made people smile just by watching a vlog. In just a short 10 to 13 mins you change someone's outlook on their day. I look forward to your vlogs. My four year old son and I bond watching your vlogs. We love your little family Ellie and Jared. 💝

[@ellieandjared]

Thank you Ali Are! This means a lot to us. = )

[@alishabrenecki2773]

I'm so excited you responded!!! Keep doing what you are doing! You change so many lives for the better!

[@jr-mynext50years41]

You should add pictures (in your office walls) of all of your outdoor trips and activities that you do with your dad, father-in-law, brothers, and brothers in laws. Fishing, four wheeling, skiing, and everything else outdoors that y'all have done. That big picture seems to give an outdoorsy vibe so just keep with that theme!

[@jr-mynext50years41]

......and camping and camp fires and playing your guitar!

[@jovanhout7417]

Jared, you are so sweet giving those flowers! Helping people is important, today I helped refugees and I'm only 14 years old.

[@ellieandjared]

Good for you Jo Van, you always feel great when you do something for others. You are learning this at a young age and will make your life happier. = )

Jared, you touch people's lives and make over 900,000 people happy everyday. Your energy and your positive attitude lift so many spirits. Your heart and love for your family comes out in your vlogs. Your kindness shows more than you know. Last year I was having a family holiday dinner and put on your Christmas vlog while doing dishes. You started talking about how if you were alone for the holidays to let you guys be our family, all 20 people in my home stood riveted and silent drinking in every word you were saying. You touch people's lives and hearts every day. Thank you for that.

[@ellieandjared]

Thank you for sharing this Amaber! This touched our hearts. = )

[@tabithajean8376]

I love that you talked about how you can help people and leave a positive impact. I, too, have been thinking about this a lot lately. There is so much I want to do for people and I am finally getting to a place where I might be able to do something nice for people. My husband and I have always had dreams of all these things we wanted to do for people and animals. But for so long we haven't been able to even help ourselves. Life has been such a struggle. But my husband changed professions in June and now we can see a light at the end of the tunnel. We will make it. I have so many things I want to do in the future. And hopefully I'll do much more than what's on my mind. much love. ❤

[@madirose2455]

Ellie and Jared, you have no idea how much you have helped me and impacted my life! You are my family and I am so thankful for you.

[@ellaraexxoo8593]

[@jessicavolkers]

You guys help me with getting through life, and I'm so thankful for that. If there wasn't KZbin I wouldn't know where in my life I would be, especially after the childhood that I went through. These video's give me hope and they show me what love actually is and I will always be thankful for that. I love watching your video's because they make me happy and let me forget all the other things in my life that are going on. So thank you guys for making video's every day !

[@ellieandjared]

Thank you Jessica, we wish you the best!

Jared, and Ellie too, I want you both to know that you are a huge part of my day & a huge light in my day. You have fulfilled in making people happy & smile. Thank you for being you & and so humble & kind. Thank you for serving the Lord & not being afraid to show it. Thank you for being such an awesome start to my day & for reminding me that there is always something to smile about. Please never stop what you are doing ❤️️✨ Love from Tacoma, WA. Ps. That painting totally reminds me of Mt. Rainier (;

[@bettybastable]

Ellie & Jared, you and your whole families have been a great inspiration and role models for me. The only family I have is my father and soon I won't him. I'm only 23 but I have a whole life to live. And with yalls wisdom and indirect advice/vlogs I have learned so much about life and especially about love. You've helped mentally prepare myself for the things life will throw my way. You have made an impact in my world. And that means alot to me.

[@kristencarll1988]

I totally get where Jared is coming from. It's the little things that become the big things that people remember us for. For me, the positivity that both of you embody makes a difference in those around you. We feed off positive energy. This morning I dropped off a gift card to a local police station in honor of the two fallen Officers from Des Moines. The officers at the police station seemed shocked that I thought of them since we are all the way in Maine. But reminding them that we support and love their brothers and sisters in blue made an impression in their days. $25 is not much, but its more about the thought. Give BIG, love BIG, think BIG.

[@chelby3923]

I think it's hard to realize sometimes because you don't see us and interact face to face with all of us on a daily basis but you do mean a lot to us and put a smile on our faces even if it's just for 10 minutes!!!! Believe it or not but you guys HAVE made a huge change in the world and I just want to thank you for that!!!

[@Angie2283]

Jared I hope you read these comments because you and Ellie have helped me. Last year I moved from on Province in Canada where I had lived my whole life To a completely different one. I had no friends to start out will but being able to each your vlogs as well as daily bumps and a few others, helped with my loneliness. It was familiar when everything else was so new. I could tell you more in this comment but I don't want to. So thank you for doing what you do. It makes a difference to me!

[@misssarah1990]

Jared, I've been watching you guys for a long time, since before you found out you were expecting Calvin. What brought me to your channel was me dealing with my infertility journey and looking for solace in others who have gone through the same thing and that's how I came across your channel, and let me tell you--I was in a pretty dark place emotionally and ever since then, I continue to watch because seeing your happy family gives me hope for my family. Thank you for what you do every day. I look forward to your positivity more than you know. You already have made a difference to little ol' me. Thank you.

[@ellieandjared]

Thank you Sarah, keep us posted on your life. = )

[@kaylibossard5397]

Jared what I think about you just from the vlogs and stuff is that you are a very caring and self less person.. you are full of Christlike love and are always willing to go the extra mile for anyone you love or even complete strangers . You've made me cry several times with how amazing you are ! You giving Ellie's moms flowers was amazing and I'm sure brightened her day. Your a constant light and positive factor in people's life's . That's what I think.

[@2pburke]

Jared: You are helping sooooo many people. You are a fantastic Father and Husband to your family and example for so many young men and women that watch your channel. Ellie is an amazing patient Mother and sweeeeeeet Wife to you and the boys. I pray that I am half the parent you are to my three grown (21, 23 and 24 y/o) children. I am so jealous of Ellie to have such a loving and spiritual husband. You deserve everything you have and more. Love you guys!

[@megangardner9721]

Everyday when I watch your videos I laugh, I may cry, I smile, and I'm inspired. You say you are blessed to be able to make these videos, but it is truly me who is blessed to have such role models and friends. So thank you for everyday, without fail, posting a video.

[@ashleymarie6660]

You guys are truly an inspiration! I recently changed my college major after 3 years and I am happier than ever and seeing you guys achieve your goals over the past 6 months with the house and everything else helped me change my mind to make myself happy with my decision and not anyone else telling me.

God takes you to places you never expect to be and I hope I can help just 1 person ya know? I just happened upon your video in my feed but must admit I don't watch often, but so needed to hear that today, so thanks for sharing.

[@MattieLeeVlogs]

Ellie and Jared, I have been thinking the same thing! I want to leave an impact and be inspiration. NOT saying I want others to think highly of me (as like I'm better than them). But I want to be an inspiration and help others. Making others happy is what makes me happy as well. I just signed up to try and do Red Cross volunteer opportunities and I think that it will be a life changing experience.

It's at the begin.. the begin of how you started.. don't worry about all the things you said in the video.. you won't be forgotten.. KZbin is everything.. it won't be gone, it's the internet. You have put your life there and it will Always be there. Over 25 years there still will be a Ellie and Jared and hope there will be still vlogs on KZbin. Only one couple who can be you as you! and that's amazing. I love you guys

Jared, you always have something inspiring to say, and I am so happy I get to hear your words. I am thankful for you guys being a part of my life, even if I don't know you guys personally. I love you all!

[@jamiealice6830]

You are certainly leaving a mark on many people's lives. I have told so many people about these two youtubers called Ellie and Jared who are so positive and have changed my view on life. Thankyou for all that you do 😊

[@kelleygreen7453]

You, Jared, are making a huge impact on the men and boys that view this vlog. How to be a leader in your family. You lead with humbleness and love. You Care for your wife and children in obedience to Christ. It is very evident that God is priority. There are many boys and men in this world who did not have a father figure to teach them the ways. You are there to show them. And also women and girls see how they should be treated. Keep living you story. And of course, Ellie, you are a wonderful wife and mom and it is evident you care for and nurture your family as Christ asks. Love you guys!!!!

[@no-more-mercyy1888]

You guys are everything I hope to be when I get older. I'm 16 and growing up is a bit scary, but you guys always make me believe I can do it. Thank you Ellie and Jared!!!

[@PaytDiane]

Jared, it's so refreshing to see a man so unafraid to show emotion towards his children like you do. It warms my heart to see that. ❤️

Ellie - make sure and use the "special" Essie Gel Top Coat otherwise the polish will not last any longer than a normal polish. With the top coat I've found that I can go for 7-10 days without major chipping and when it's time to take the polish off, it is super easy unlike the gel at the salon.

[@melissacrabtree6458]

Thank you for caring enough about your viewers to give back and make this world a much better place. If only other youtubers bigger then you felt and acted the same way. I've been following you guys since Ellie announced she was pregnant with Jackson!

[@shaunaw.8951]

Watching you guys when I'm happy or sad, it just makes me feel the happiest. You guys are the best!

[@rebeccaholmgard]

Jared, some day I'll write to you and tell my whole story of how I found you guys and what a huge inpact you've had on my life. Till then I just want to say that you do so much more than you realize for people around you and even around the world. I mean, I'm from Finland and you've helped me just by doing vlogs. So thank YOU! You guys are awesome!

Jared, your end comments made me think of the MSG version of Matthew 5:14-16 "You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand-shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others" You and Ellie reflect this very well I think.

Calvin is so cute and sweet I love watching him do things, like hugging his dad. So cute (:

[@HPgalore]

Oh my goodness! I love Hamilton Jared, I completely understand what you are talking about with "Who Tells Your Story." It is such a powerful song! Love you guys so much

[@Fargy86]

You do a great job keeping your house clean, entertaining the kids. Your home always seems so warm and inviting and cosy

[@MMDemp]

The picture on your office wall is so beautiful, Jared. To my taste, it should be the only picture on that wall. Ellie and Calvin are so cute together in the little Batmobile. Your personal legacy: since you are so popular on youtube, maybe you could do an annual fundraising during a limited time period for a charity. Just an idea. Also, I wonder if you would consider doing recordings because you have such a beautiful singing voice. It would be wonderful if you encourage Bonnie to sing also because she also has an exceptional voice. How about all the children singing around the piano or you playing guitar at Christmas time doing sacred carols and pop Christmas songs. It would be so heartwarming to see but also sets a great example for other families to motivate them to do music not just listen to it.

[@sarahchange]

You are helping others everyday by sharing the love and joy that is your families life.

[@kashapuzey375]

I think you are doing an amazing job helping people on your channel without even realizing it! Because you are happy all the time and living life to the fullest even through the hard times it helps me try to be a better person! I can't wait to hear more of what you are going to be doing!

[@anirathomas5087]

Jared your so caring and helpful. I love that you think about your family's future and your future. Thanks for telling us about the legacy you want to leave and I appreciate your openness towards others. Love your family

[@avastowell5586]

[@DEEDEEGARRETT1]

Jared,that was a good mini speech at the closing.I needed that !

[@Themadster33946]

That nail polish you got will work a whole lot better with the actual Essie topcoat for that gel polish line. I have tried it before and it lasts a LOT longer with it.

[@melanieblueglam]

Hey Jared Maybe you can get some dark wood letters and put a J and an M up on either side of the mountian pic in your office. That would be nice!

[@tikiteek]

I love you guys so much. You're such an inspiration.. I hope to raise a family to be as happy, humble, and wholesome as you guys are one day. Thank you for the daily smile :)

[@ellieandjared]

Thank you Teresa!

Ellie and Jared- The first vlog that I watched of yours was the vlog of Jackson's birth! I had just found out that I was going to be a mommy myself and was you-tubing videos of babies! Almost 3 years later I still watch videos of you daily and now all of your siblings! You are such an inspiring family and I love you guys so much! Thank you for always shining HIS light!

Thank you Jared for sharing what has been on your mind. Lately I have been feeling down about some things and your talk just inspired me to be the best me that I can be. To really just know that I try my best and I feel that one day my son will appreciate me

[@17nals]
